Sound Dust releases Ships Piano³ for Kontakt

Sound Dust has announced the release of Ships Piano³, a hybrid piano instrument for Native Instruments Kontakt, based around a collection of three character pianos.

Ships Piano³ takes the original acclaimed Sound Dust Ships Piano sample instrument and adds two more really great sounding character pianos to the mix.

Think of her as a character piano modeller, you can cunningly combine different aspects of each piano to create impossible sounding piano hybrids. Just don’t expect the usual bland, silky smooth tones of those other over sampled piano monsters.

The fun doesn’t stop there though, Ships Piano³ isn’t just a pretty face.

She also comes with the Satie-anator sequencer engine which combined with the keyswitch operated scale and key commands is a full on inspiration machine!

Ships Piano³ features

School Grand – a binaurally recorded grand piano in an ancient stone walled Hogwartsy school hall/chapel.

Ships Piano – 4 or 5 notes of velocity, recorded binaurally and re-tuned since the last version.

Room Upright – binaurally recorded with 3 layers of velocity, the cunning bit is that she was reversed, fed through high end reverb and then reversed again.
